VOICES

Lennon Wall non-negotiable Eve Edmonds EEDMONDS@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

I’m not even sure what to say about the latest “Richmond video.” It’s by no means on the scale of the racist rant we saw go viral last month, but I still have to admit I find it disturbing.

In this video, it appears that a group of young men are tearing down the sticky notes posted on the Lennon Wall below Aberdeen Canada Line Station. Others step in to protect the wall, a little shoving ensues, but the situation never turns violent. Police arrive, talk to some of the people involved, but no arrests are made.

8

In other words, in the grand scheme of things, this is not the most dramatic event. Not that many people were involved and no one got hurt — physically, at least.

Regardless, I find it depressing and not something to be ignored.

The concept of the Lennon Wall is a beautiful one. It’s intended to embody the peace, love and free expression that John Lennon came to represent.

First created in Prague, Czechoslovakia, following the assassination of John Lennon in 1980, the Lennon Wall was a kind of memorial site where people could give voice to their grief and thoughts about John Lennon. However, the wall soon turned into an expression of the people’s frustration with that country’s regime.

20

During the 2014 democracy protests in Hong Kong, a new Lennon Wall became one of the major symbols of the democratic reform movement. As the protests in Hong Kong have continued, Lennon Walls have sprung up around the world, including here in Richmond. We first reported on this in July, when a Lennon Wall was erected at the Brighouse Canada Line Station.

(Just as an aside, I have to hand it to those Hong Kong protesters; they’ve come up with some wonderfully creative ways to make their case. At one point, they were singing StarSpangled Banner in front of the American embassy in hopes of eliciting more American support.)

Anyway, it appears another Lennon Wall was erected at Aberdeen Station, which last night became the target of, we assume, pro-China supporters.

25

I find it hard to get my mind around how people can oppose that kind of democratic expression. I totally understand people’s love for their home country and may feel offended if there was a hate-on for Canada. But this is where it’s so important to distinguish a particular political regime from a nation, its people and its culture.

I also hate this kind of thing because, as sure as the sun rises, we have those on Facebook doing the whole, “Then go back where you came from.” But at least they can’t just rant on about “the Chinese,” given there are Chinese people on both sides of this conflict.

What I found most telling was the fact one of the people trying to protect the wall at Aberdeen Station said to one of the vandalizers, “Write your own message. If you don’t support the Hong Kong protesters, say that.” In other words, it’s not about being for or against, it’s about the freedom to express.

27

And that’s a value we can’t afford to negotiate.

I found a suite on the 5th floor and it was the best thing I ever did. The view is beautiful, the sunrise, sunsets and the mountains are beautiful.

I like the Maples because it’s new, clean and the staff are very caring. I’ve made so many new friends.

I like everybody and they like me, I’m very fortunate.

There is so much close by. The buses are just around the corner, I can catch a bus wherever I need to go.

I like walking and the park behind the Maples is a great walk. I enjoy feeding the squirrels and I am sure they remember me. They wait for me and look for peanuts.

Walking on the waterfront and looking at the fish boats is something I really enjoy. If someone asked me, “Should I live at the Maples?” I’d talk to them and say “Come on in!”

Steveston centre costs what? Can striking Dear Editor,

Re: “Blood boils over $110M price tag,” News, Sept. 19 Am reading with disbelief about the estimated $110-million price tag proposed for the rebuild of the Steveston Community Centre.

Notwithstanding the question as to whether a whole new facility is even needed vs. expansion of the current facility, the quote seems unbelievably high.

If reading new centre, library, is 62,450 SF

correctly, the including the planned for which would

indicate a build cost (given no land purchase is required) of almost $1,761/ SF!!!

Given current hard-cost builds for public buildings of this type are at $500/ SF at the top end, I have to think more explanation and scrutiny is needed here. Af-

ter all, we are talking about a 12,000 library space, with balance comprising meeting rooms, kitchen space, etc.

How can this possibly cost this much to build?

Dog clean-up signs needed Dear Editor, My wife and I live on the North Shore but we visit Richmond from time to time to help out with our grandson.

Back in June, we took him to a new park and playground near Concord Gardens. He was just fifteen months old and quite mobile and after playing on the slides and other equipment, he decided he wanted to take us for a walk across the lawn area. Luckily, I was looking down as we walked along and was able to prevent him stepping on big pile of fresh dog feces.

Looking around, we noticed several un-scooped mounds of dog waste of

various sizes on the lawn area. In another part of the children’s playground where the ground is layered with sand, there were also several dog droppings. Nowhere are there any signs advising dog owners to clean up after their dogs.

Rectifying this matter should be a top priority for council given the number of young families in the area. However, after several emails back and forth with council and parks, nothing has changed. Though this is a publically accessible playground, it is on private property and managed by the Concord Gardens strata, we have been told.

However, a Richmond bylaw states that every owner of a dog must ensure that any excrement deposited on any parcel, other than the parcel of the owner, must be cleaned up immediately.

It is now four months since this matter was bought to the attention of council and though Richmond Parks advise they have been in touch with Rancho Management, the property management group, no action has been taken.

I have also been in contact with Rancho Management and Concord Property Developments with no response.

students take next step?

Dear Editor,

Though I applaud their efforts, perhaps young climate strikers should address climate change by first looking into the mirror…and not just for zits… to ponder their own carbon footprint: cel phones, laptops, computer games, designer brands and being driven to school.

The internet gives young people access to more knowledge than previous generations, but they lack the understanding underlying that knowledge.

Understanding comes with age, maturity and experience.

Welcome to the “big peoples” world…a place fraught with bills, taxes, mortgages, cellulite and “Dad bods” — a place where parents work (many at jobs being protested against) to keep your bellies full and houses warm.

Human activity is accelerating global warming. Sadly, in the battle between environment and world economies, the environment almost always loses. This is especially true in third world countries where many of the problems are caused by multinational conglomerates striving to enrich first world investment portfolios.

Student awareness of our environment crisis is a start, lessons learned early generally blossom in adulthood. Being our future leaders, maybe they can bring about real change.

Or they’ll realize the unfairness in the world as we did, becoming jaded, cynical, and greedier as earth continues to heat up and Frosty the Snowman becomes extinct.

Meng arrest the ‘last straw’: Chiu Green, NDP advocate for housing co-ops at candidate meeting Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

From the level of applause at the first allcandidates meeting on Monday evening, it might seem the Conservatives are leading in Richmond ridings.

But the event, because it was put on by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, might have drawn a more conservative, businessoriented crowd.

The candidates answered questions about Canada’s stance on China, economic growth, housing and LGBTQ rights. But there were also mentions of the prime minister’s socks, the Canucks’ chances of making the playoffs and getting more money into the pockets of Canadians.

At the debate, held at the Gaming Stadium on No. 3 Road, the highest tensions appeared to be between incumbent MP Joe Peschisolido, defending his record, and his Conservative challenger Kenny Chiu with the latter accusing the Liberals of wasteful spending and dealing with China with disrespect.

Campaign on pause

One local candidate has put his campaign on hold as he recovers from a medical issue, but a new independent candidate has declared his intentions to unseat MP Joe Peschisolido.

C o l l e e n Glynn, president of the Richmond Centre NDP riding association, said because of “circumstances beyond his control,” Dustin Innes has taken a step back from his campaign, but she said he will hopefully be back on track within a week or two.

Ping Chan is listed as a candidate for Steveston-Richmond East in the Oct. 21 federal election. He ran in the 2013 provincial election, under the BC Excalibur Party, in Richmond East, garnering 175 votes.

China, Hong Kong rivals clash at Aberdeen Station

ful of coins while swearing at a lady protecting what was left of the sticky notes.”

Valerie Leung

“People were telling them to leave their support notes alone and to write their own notes and posters in support of their own country — China — if they wanted to.”

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An altercation between pro-China and pro-Hong Kong supporters below Aberdeen Canada Line station on Tuesday was caught on video.

Two men, who were seen ripping posters from the wall, were seen interviewed by a Richmond RCMP officer in uniform in a Twitter post, but no arrests were made.

Late in the afternoon, a group of pro-Hong Kong high school students were placing sticky notes on a makeshift “Lennon Wall,” in solidarity with their compatriots in the troubled region of China.

“We are acutely aware of current world events, especially those that correspond to the (Oct. 1) date. We do extensive planning for such events and balance the needs of peaceful protest with public safety. We had officers stationed nearby and in plainclothes to monitor the situation,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang, Richmond Mounties spokesperson.

However, not long after they had made the “wall,” a group of Mandarin-speaking people — apparently pro-China — were filmed tearing down the sticky notes and posters while engaging in a verbal conflict with the rival group.

A male voice can be heard yelling “I’ll hit you” in Cantonese towards a few people looking at the wall, to which they responded in Mandarin, “come here and hit me then.”

This is followed by the group of males ripping more sticky notes and posters off the wall.

It’s understood that the altercation may have started because Oct. 1 celebrates China’s 70th anniversary.

During the 2014 democracy protests in Hong Kong, a Lennon Wall became one of the major features. Those protests have risen to the surface again in recent months in Hong Kong after its government considered forming an extradition treaty with China.

Mayor attends Group warns of China reception election fake news Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie attended the controversial reception put on by the Chinese consul general at the UBCM conference and he held firm to his position that it’s important to keep lines of communications open. But he also called China’s record on human rights “questionable.”

While tensions have increased with protests in Hong Kong and two Canadians detained in China, Brodie believes keeping up good relations with China is better than shutting doors.

“How are we ever going to resolve our problems without talking about it?” he said.

There are many things done by the Chinese government, for example, the oppression of the Falun Gong, Tibetans and the Tiananmen Square events 20 years ago, that make him angry, he added.

But his presence at the reception shows “respect” but shouldn’t imply that he endorses various actions by the Chinese government.

“I’m not here to endorse the Chinese government or the consul general, I just don’t think you solve anything by ignoring it,” Brodie said.

Before the consul general’s reception began, a group, led by Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, gathered to protest the event, with people holding signs saying “Stop CCP influence” and “Release two Michaels.” Some people were holding the Turkestan flag, which represents the Uyghur people in west China who have been oppressed by the Chinese government.

They were gathered outside the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel by Canada Place where the UBCM conference was happening — Richmond Centre Green party candidate Francoise Raunet was at the protest.

Raunet said she was there because she wanted to register her disapproval of “wining and dining of elected officials” by the Chinese government. She added that Canada shouldn’t be afraid to “call out human rights violations, whether they are committed by China, Saudi Arabia, or our closest allies like the United States.”

A local organization is encouraging new immigrants to participate in Canadian democracy and the federal election.

Members from Civic Education Society, a nonpartisan organization that promotes public engagement, held a conference last week to educate new arrivals about the importance of voting.

“You should endorse Canadian values since you have moved here. You should come out to vote, or others will represent you,” said Eleanor Yuen, a longtime Richmondite and a member of Civic Education Society.

tended the meeting, said voting is one of the most effective ways to make direct changes to one’s community — far more effective than complaining about social problems among friends, he added.

“As you participate in the voting process, you will have a more direct influence on making changes and addressing issues in our society,” said Au. However, there are things voters should keep in mind before heading to the polls on Oct. 21. Fake news often floods across different social media platforms during the election season, promoting false information and conspiracy theories, said Yuen.

“Learning how to differentiate fake news stories

from real ones is also an important part of democracy,” said Yuen.

Ken Tung, the president of Civic Education Society and a Fairchild Radio commentator, noted new immigrants should read stories from major, credible English news sites and shouldn’t share any news until they have a fact-checked it.

“If you have received stories from an independent news site, you should spend several minutes verifying the story,” said Tung.

Tung predicts CanadaChina relations and the growing tension between Hong Kong and the Chinese government will be a hot-button election issue in Richmond.

While this decision was not easy to make, we believe it’s the right one for Forever 21 Canada,” said Bradley Sell, CFO of Forever 21 Canada.

“We had hoped for a different outcome, but after years of poor performance and challenges set forth by the headwinds facing the retail industry today, our Canadian operations are simply no longer economically viable.”

Cadillac Fairview owns Richmond Centre, which will go through a major redevelopment.

A group of Richmond Chinese residents, including Coun. Chak Au, are demanding to know why the Caucasian woman who was seen hurling racial slurs at a Chinese immigrant in a local parking has not been charged.

The group, which held a press conference last week with the motto, “Together say no to racism,” is also urging the woman to apologize openly to the Chinese-Canadian community.

“I have received lots of emails and calls following the incident. After watching the disturbing video, many people think this isn’t just between two individuals, but (it) also impacts the whole Chinese

Last month, a video went viral that showed a woman yelling racial slurs at another woman who filmed the incident. The Richmond RCMP immediately began an investigation but concluded no charges would be laid.

Last week, Au’s group circulated a letter on Wechat demanding to know why the woman would not be charged and urging all elected officials to declare their stand against racism.

On Monday, that same letter was printed on the front page of two local, Chineselanguage daily newspapers.

In response, Supt. Will Ng of the Richmond RCMP issued an open letter, published in the Richmond News, as well as the Chinese-language dailies, stating the rant did not meet the threshold of hate

speech and the woman had written an apology letter to the victim, who did not want to pursue the matter.

Regardless, the group is not satisfied.

A written statement claimed most political leaders from all three levels of government remained silent on the issue, except Au and Coun. Michael Wolfe.

(Although, Mayor Malcolm Brodie condemned the rant in no uncertain terms in the Richmond News, while other councillors expressed their disgust in posts on Facebook.)

The organizers have launched an online petition, encouraging people from different cultural backgrounds to say no to racism and protect the value of diversity in Canada, which they say has 2,025 signatures so far.

Effective Voice.

A woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries after she was hit by a pickup truck while sitting on a bench on the Steveston boardwalk.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the driver of a white Ford truck allegedly lost control of the vehicle after colliding with a pole near the area adjacent to Sockeye City Restaurant.

A 41-year old woman from Richmond was understood to be sitting on a bench near the pole at the time of the collision.

The driver, an 81-year old man from Burnaby, remained at the scene and cooperated with police.

Driver error is believed to be the cause of the collision and police are still investigating.

According to Richmond News reader Mick Lewis, the cream/beige truck had punctures and was badly damaged, possibly having taken out a metal barrier and a bench.

Suspect sought by police A 26-year-old woman is wanted by Richmond RCMP on multiple fraud-related charges.

Erica Esquieres is facing 30 charges including mail theft, credit card fraud and forgery, in crimes committed throughout B.C. Esquieres came to the attention of investigators in the Richmond Mounties’ Economic Crime Unit after

allegedly taking money from bank accounts, making fraudulent purchases and renting cars while impersonating victims. She has not been seen since she was released from cus- Erica Esquieres tody in July.

Brush your teeth – to avoid Dementia!

It isn’t exactly new information, but studies in recent years are finding links between dental health and Dementia risk. A study in Korea tested for Periodontitis in 2003-2004 (Periodontitis is a gum infection that damages tissue and bone that supports teeth).

Over 260,000 persons participated and they were then followed for 10 years, ending in 2015. Persons with chronic Periodontitis were found to be at elevated risk for Dementia, including Vascular and Alzheimer’s. Other studies since, appear to confirm the increased risk levels in persons with Chronic Periodontitis. Still other studies are investigating other factors that increase our risk of contracting Dementia. As we have not yet found a cure for this seeming epidemic of Dementia, it is at least important to know what are some risk factors, so that we might reduce our chances of contracting it.

So brush your teeth (and probably floss while you’re at it!)

Video links MP to proChina rally Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

An exclusive video posted online this week shows a woman, who was at the forefront of the pro-China rally in Vancouver in August, identifying herself as an event assistant for Steveston-Richmond East MP Joe Peschisolido at his campaign office opening.

But Peschisolido’s communication director Kevin Li claimed that Eileen Chen has no role in Peschisolido’s re-election campaign for the upcoming federal election.

On Aug. 17, Chen attended the pro-China rally when competing rallies between pro-Hong Kong and pro-China demonstrators took over the entrance next to the Broadway-City Hall Canada Line station in Vancouver. She was seen waving a Chinese flag and singing the Chinese national anthem.

As seen in the video initially captured by documentary filmmaker Ian Mitchell at Peschisolido’s campaign office opening event on Sep. 15, Chen said that she is Peschisolido’s events assistant in the Chinese community.

When pressed for details, Chen directed Mitchell to contact Peschisolido’s as-

sistant Michael Wong, who was described as a campaign manager by Chen.

The video was later provided to theBreaker.News and posted online.

However, Li denied Chen’s involvement in this election campaign and stressed that there is no such role called event assistant.

“In the video, it’s clear that she struggled with the questions in English. There is no such role of event assistant in our campaign,” Li said in a written statement, “it’s questionable on why she chose to say that on Sept.

15. Also, she clearly does not understand the operations of our campaign because Michael is not the campaign manager.”

Empowering Family Caregivers Expo Social workers and doctors often have to deal with family caregiver burn out. Caregivers take up the challenge of providing care for a parent or a spouse.

Motivated by love of family, many of them end up exhausted and burned out by the 24-hour demands on their time and energy. Once they start being the primary caregiver, they find out that government resources are insufficient to meet their caregiving needs and private service providers are beyond their budget. With little available relief, these loving caregivers quickly hit a cliff and rapidly move into a stage of exhaustion.

Many family members take up the challenge to look after their loved ones and become their primary caregivers. This has been the norm for the last 10 years.

Statistics Canada reveals that over the last decade, both the number of family caregivers providing care and the number of seniors requiring care has

grown dramatically. These numbers are projected to continue to increase.

There is also an increasing need to support the many family members who are caring for their loved ones. Senior Link Independent Living Society and Angels There For You are inviting you to the first EMPOWERING FAMILY CAREGIVERS EXPO to be held Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at South Arm United Church, 11051 No. 3 Rd. The goal of the expo is to empower, connect, support and inspire family caregivers. Guest Speakers from the Seniors Advocate for BC, CARP (Canadian Association for Retired Person) and seniors health related practitioners will provide educational sessions on: How to Avoid Caregiver Burn out; Parenting Parents; and Empowering Caregivers to Look After Their Mind, Body and Soul.

Autistics United ask to have their voices heard

555 West 12th Ave. Vancouver citysquarevan.com

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Sam McCulligh has prepared signs to protest a walk this Sunday, put on by Autism Speaks Canada.

MariaRantanen photo

Autistics United Vancouver — a selfadvocacy group — will march this Sunday in Richmond to protest a walk that claims to speak for them.

The message that Autistics United members want to send is that autistic people should be allowed to speak for themselves, that they don’t want to be labelled a tragedy that needs to be grieved and they don’t want their behaviours suppressed.

Correction Notice In the circular & bagstuffer beginning Friday, September 20, 2019, we incorrectly listed the 40% off Regular Price Purchases coupon.

The correct coupon is 40% Off One Regular Price Item.

Sam McCulligh is an autistic person.

He says he doesn’t just “have” autism — it’s not something that can be neatly tucked away in his pocket, rather, it’s a core part of his identity.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

This is why therapies used to minimize autistic behaviour or “camouflage” autistic people are so distasteful to him.

cize families for coming out to the walk, rather to educate them on the messages and mandate of Autism Speaks.

Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) is the “gold standard” of autistic therapy, McCulligh said, but he calls it “compliance training” with a system of external rewards and punishments. “Stimming,” like intense fidgeting, is discouraged although it is something that provides comfort to autistic people. They are given messages like “quiet hands.”

For example, in the 100 Day Kit, available on the Autism Speaks Canada website, parents are told that a diagnosis of autism may cause them to go through the five stages of grieving.

McCulligh doesn’t think autistic people need to just conform to the “neurotypical” world around them.

McCulligh and Vivian Ly are the Vancouver chapter leaders of Autistics United, a self-advocacy organization with five chapters across Canada that work to improve the lives of autistic people.

They will both be protesting on Sunday at the annual Autism Speaks Canada fundraiser, whose goal is to raise $80,000.

Autism Speaks Canada is a charity whose mission is to promote solutions, support autistic people and their familes and increase understanding and acceptance of autism. Their mission also includes “advancing research into causes and better interventions” for people with autism.

Autism Speaks Canada supports research into autism, provides family services and resources. They defend ABA as “evidence based treatment.”

McCulligh and Ly don’t mean to criti-

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish girl who sparked the Global Climate Strike movement, is on the autism spectrum.

Many high-profile politicians made fun of or belittled her because of her autism, including U.S. President Donald Trump who mocked her on Twitter, and People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier, who called her “mentally unstable,” although he later walked back on his comments.

This is typical of how autistic people are belittled and infantalized, McCulligh said.

“Our ‘disability’ is used against us to discredit us,” Ly said.

Autistics United members don’t think there isn’t enough representation of autistic people in leadership positions at Autism Speaks Canada.

Sarah Ahmed, director of marketing and communications with Autism Speaks, however, said that the voice of autistic people is “heard throughout the organization via employees and volunteer positions.”

The walk takes place on Sunday at the grounds of the Pacific Autism Fam-

ily Network (PAFN), which is the hub in a network of autism resource and knowledge centres around the province.

Autism Speaks is a sponsor of PAFN, having given $500,000 toward the capital costs of the building.

PAFN board chair and interim CEO Sergio Cocchia said, when the centre was created, they brought together a group of self-advocates who are “intricately involved in every aspect of what we do. We specifically created a group during the construction of our building, called Voices of Autism, to inform our policies and programs moving forward,” Cocchia said. They also draw on parents of autistic people who can’t self-advocate.

However, McCulligh and Ly said they would rather autistic people spoke for themselves, “autistic-led but ally-supported.”

“Nothing about us without us” is the core of their philosophy, McCulligh said.

Ahmed said that Autism Speaks understands many people disagree with their mission, but they listen and learn from the autism community; however, she added, some concerns are “outdated.”

“We are proud of our work and we welcome an ongoing conversation to help address these misconceptions head-on,” Ahmed continued. “We are happy to talk to protesters and tell them about our work.”

Report of tainted meat at dog park sparks panic Kirsten Clarke KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

The City of Richmond is hoping to calm residents’ fears after a report about tainted meat found in a local dog park spread across social media.

According to a memo obtained by the Richmond News, which was shared with BC SPCA, local vet clinics and Richmond RCMP, the city’s bylaw department received a call alleging a piece of meat was found containing needles at Woodwards Slough Dog Park, located at 9400 Dyke Rd. west of No. 4 Road.

Bylaws officers went out to the site after receiving the call, but couldn’t find the meat or substantiate the claim, said city spokesperson Clay Adams.

Earlier this month, there was a report of meat found containing sewing needles on Burnaby Mountain, according to Global News.

And in May, the BC SPCA investigated a report of dog poisoning at Kitsilano Park, according to CTV News.

“But we decided, out of an abundance of caution and safety, that we would simply give a heads-up to dog park users and to the veterinary clinics to be on the lookout for things like this.

We couldn’t substantiate (the claim of meat with needles in it.)

A new YouTube channel created by two young Richmondites is introducing other Chinese immigrants and students to local lifestyles and the latest government policies.

“When we arrived in Canada many years ago, we had to figure out things by ourselves,” said Vivian Li, who teamed up with her friend Zoe Wong to start a Youtube channel in April 2019.

“So it was an exciting thing for me and Zoe to make videos to help recent arrivers from China stay informed about what’s happening in the local community. Hopefully, these videos will help them make a smooth transition to their new life here.”

We hope people love our personality: Li The pair’s VanTopics account doesn’t have a huge following at this point – 235 to be exact. But the number is growing daily.

“Our videos won’t be over 10 minutes. The challenge we face now is to explain all these issues within a limited time,” said Li.

In addition to their video, they regularly update their blog to add the content that can’t fit into the video.

Setting up a YouTube channel wasn’t a spontaneous decision; they’d been planning it for years.

Helping international students explore the local system Born in Hong Kong, Wong immigrated to Canada in 2008 to pursue her studies at the University of Alberta. After earning her bachelor’s degree, she moved to Vancouver in 2012 where she met Li. They became roommates and best friends.

Different from Wong’s journey, Li immigrated to Vancouver from China with her family when she was only eight years old.

“For students who have arrived in Canada at an early age, we found it takes them a long time to navigate the local system, especially when they are away from their old social network,” said Li. “Some international students couldn’t even tell the difference between Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

Li and Wong shoot two videos each week on topics ranging from first-time homebuyer-incentive programs to extended health-care benefits to Canada team-building events.

After realizing there is a need to provide more resources for international students, VanTopics was founded in April this year.

One of the pair’s videos posted to Youtube on Aug 15 shows Li and Wong participating in the Triangle Beach Cleanup in Richmond.

They removed tons of garbage from the shoreline in the pouring rain. Li said she works at a restoration company, which tries to help the environment. Her company signed up with a national conservation program titled “Shoreline Cleanup” to help “restore” the shorelines, and she thought this could be a good YouTube video idea.

“Zoe and I are passionate about all marine animal protection. We hope to use this opportunity to let more people understand the importance of making our environment a cleaner and better place. After all, we only have one earth,” said Wong.

For Wong and Li, being Youtubers is a labour of love. They spend long hours working on their videos, after coming home from busy work days.

“A 10-minute video usually takes us hours to make, including shooting the clip and adding transitions to them,” explained Wong.

“But whenever we read comments below the video, we feel the efforts and hard work is paid off.”

We take the time to get to know our patients.

Our welcoming team ensure you are always comfortable and that your procedure is pain free and safe.

One of Richmond’s oldest residents has just celebrated her 100th birthday.

On Oct. 1, Kiyoko Tanaka reached the magic century, having lived in the city for the past 60 years, bringing up four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Born in Osaka, Japan to parents Sosaku and Tokuye Hirota, Tanaka’s path to life in Canada was, at the very least, a long and winding one.

After completing high school, she found employment with a wealthy family as a maid which, for many young women at the time, was regarded as an opportunity to learn how to shop for groceries, cook, sew, knit, and care for infants in preparation for marriage.

On Jan. 22, 1940, she married Takao Tanaka and soon made preparations to immigrate to Canada to join her husband, who was a fisherman on the B.C. coast.

She completed the immigration requirements but her approval was not granted before Dec. 7, 1941, when the Canadian government officially declared war with Japan.

Her husband was interned on a sugar beet farm in Manitoba during the war years and was finally allowed to return to the B.C. coast in April 1949.

He had to re-establish his life and fishing career as well as complete the immigration

Cafe harbours South American secret

It’s that time of year when the days get shorter and the craving for comfort food kicks in. With that in mind, the Richmond News is featuring a series of family-run, independent “greasy spoon” cafes, as nominated by our readers. At the end of the series, we’ll ask our readers to vote for which eatery deserves the News’

Alan Campbell ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

“Greasy Spoon Award.”

“People come in and say, ‘can you make this? Can you make that? I say, ‘no, but I will learn.”

Sandwiched between thick slices of industry and topped by the hard-working north arm of the Fraser River lies what appears to be — on the surface at least — your stereotypical greasy spoon joint.

Her Brazilian deli items — which include savoury and sweet pastries — are now so popular they are packaged and sold in Brazilian stores in the Lower Mainland.

Serving the local workforce, be they from neighbouring autoshops, logistics or manufacturing businesses, the River Road Café welcomes them all with open arms.

But what you won’t notice if you drive by this very modest section of River and No. 5 roads is that the family-run café has a little secret, a South American one.

For the River Road Café is run by a Brazilian born and bred couple — Leo and Roberta Tonioly — who are slowly, but surely, exposing their regulars to their native cuisine.

Brazilian couple Roberta and Leo Tonioly took over the running of the River Road Cafe in north Richmond a year ago. They are winning their blue collar customers over with their native cuisine. Above, right, Roberta cheers up her regulars every time they drop by. Alan Campbell photos Sure, the obligatory “greasy spoon” staples are chalked on the menu overlooking the basic tables and linoleum tiles. Your all-day breakfast, home-made burgers, etc. are there.

However, a closer inspection of the choices reveals the true passion of the To-

niolys, who took over the running of the café a year ago from a Taiwanese family.

“People can come and eat our homemade burgers, which are very good, but then they see some Brazilian items and they think, ‘let’s have a try,’ said Leo, the former food and beverage director at the Sheraton in Richmond, who came to Canada nine years ago from Sao Paulo, via a three-year stint in San Francisco with a French-based hotel chain.

“The Brazilian rice and beans, for example, that’s what I love to serve people.

I take a lot of pride in that dish. We sell a lot of it.”

“We are finding that everyone, not just people from Brazil or Portugal, are loving the food,” added Leo, who employs two part-time staff for the Tuesday to Saturday operation.

“That was our goal, to introduce Brazilian food to people who might never have tried it. There is nothing like this in Richmond.”

The couple, who live in the Kingswood area, said they close on Sunday and Monday, not because it’s quiet, but to have a little family time and to prep for the week ahead.

“People still come in on Monday, even though the sign says closed,” said Roberta.

“We love our customers. I think they quite like us.”

Case in point, as the Richmond News was finishing off the interview, in walked regular Kartell Beswick.

The Brazilian-inspired contents of the fridge at the counter and the freezer cabinet is where Roberta comes into play, even though she only started cooking for a living when they took over the café.

“There are a lot of other places that we could go to eat, but we choose to come here because we love Roberta and we love the positive energy here,” he said.

“I worked in accounting. I learned my skills here,” smiled Roberta, who came to Richmond in 2002 to study English.

“I could be in a bad mood coming here, but it’s very difficult to remain in a bad mood once you come in here.”

A:

Today’s insurance world is constantly evolving, so navigating and understanding these changes can get overwhelming to the consumer.

Brokers are licensed professionals, here to help the consumer understand what they are buying within their insurance policy. They assess your insurance needs and risks, simplify and explain the coverage available as well as offer new and emerging insurances in the market. Essentially, they take away the complexity of the insurance world.

Brokers have access to a wide selection of markets, allowing them some Suzanne Lima, of the best rates and coverage available.

Since spring is the most popular home-selling season, the housing market can be a bit over crowded with options for buyers at that time of year. Some sellers still think they need to sell in the spring, but that means there is more competition for buyers’ attention.

But in the winter, there are fewer homes for sale. That competition over low inventory can make winter an ideal time to sell your home.

Plus, during winter months, homes with features like fireplaces can be more appealing.

It’s important to remember that not everyone looking at houses intends to make a purchase. Some people are contemplating moving and may just want to see what’s on the market. Since more homes tend to go on the market in spring and fall, this is also when window shoppers are likely to be out looking. Winter can bring out serious buyers.

Often buyers looking for homes in January and February, are real buyers looking to make a purchase, especially if it’s a great house. They don’t want to take the chance of waiting until spring and losing out on the home.

There may be less people at open houses, but I would rather have 10 real buyers come through than 20 people who are just curious.

Q: What is sudden deafness? sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), A: Sudden commonly known as sudden deafness, is an

unexplained, rapid loss of hearing. It may occur in one or both ears. SSNHL affects 5 to 27 per 100,000 people annually. Symptoms may include but not limited to hearing loss, ringing in ears, fullness in ears or dizziness.

Doctors think that viral infections, head trauma, autoimmune diseases or some neurological disorders may cause SSNHL. In most cases, in spite of thorough evaluation, the underlying cause of SSNHL is unknown or uncertain. The main treatment for SSNHL is steroids, and for the best chance of recovery they have to be given in the first 72 hours of hearing loss. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is another treatment option.

It can be, if you don’t have the right Insurance Broker providing the right advice.

Q:

“Compounding” is the art, science, and practice of custom-making your medications from scratch, using quality ingredients, with specialized equipment, using trained technique, based on precise formulas. It allows the pharmacist to customize oral suspensions, troches/lozenges, gummi-bears, eargels, suppositories, topical preparations, etc. for you and your pets. It is crucial to find an independent pharmacy that has the experience and the passion to do this properly and with the proper equipment and techniques.

By Frederick Cheng, R.Ph. If you don’t, at best, the medication will not work correctly; and Christine Cheng, R.Ph. but at worst, you can be getting chemical contaminants in something that you are putting in your body. A physician that requests a specific base such as “Lipoderm” (by PCCA) Pharmasave Steveston Village knows that other cream/gel bases will just not deliver the 12420 No.1 Road medications as intended for deep penetration as well as Unit 105, Richmond local absorption into the four layers of skin. Lipoderm allows the formation of microscopic “micelles” (or transport sacks), which is necessary for carrying the active ingredient through www.stevestonpharmasave.com all the necessary layers of skin. Micelle-formation requires sheering forces created by an ointment mill and a planetary pharmacist@stevestonpharmasave.com mixer such as the Mazerustar. A Lipoderm product will not separate with refrigeration, and is smooth, creamy, non-sticky, and will not clog pores. Lipoderm is only available at PCCA-approved independent pharmacies such as Pharmasave Steveston Village and Cloverdale Pharmasave.

We make the packs so that only 3 stamps need to be used for each letter but instead of $9.00 that the Post Office charges, our price is only $4.75. That is a $4.25 savings.

 Are you a slave to migraine or tension headaches?  Do you feel that your low back or neck pains are robbing you of quality time with your family?  Are you worried about the pins and needles, the numbness in your hands or feet?  Do you or your family members find it difficult to get a good nights sleep because of pain?  Are you still suffering from the pain of a previous accident?  Are you unable to lift objects because of your painful arthritis?  Are there activities in life you are unable to do because of pain and discomfort?

Victoria does not keep a copy of Wills A: Actually, and has never done so in the past. What you

are referring to is filing a “Wills Notice” that is registered with the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency. Basically, what you are doing by filing a Wills Notice is registering the location of where the Will is going to be kept, such as in a safety deposit box at your bank or in a special file cabinet at home, and you also state the date when your Will was executed. Any time your Will is updated or changed, or you change the location of your Will, you should file the changes accordingly with BC Vital Statistics. For example, now that your children are of adult age you may want to appoint one of them as your alternate (backup) executor. When you have your Will drawn up, your Notary can register a Wills Notice for you.

How much? Do you have a copy on file? Are they registered with WCB? Are they in Good Standing with WCB? If so, have them provide you with a Clearance Letter. If they are touching your gas appliances, do they have a Gas Contractors License? And, if they are working on your boiler, do they have a Boiler Contractors License. Never assume. Ask for a copy.

Q: I have lost my first upper right molar,

I still have my last molar on the same side. Is it possible to make me a small partial just for this side?

A: Yes, these are called unilateral partials. However

there are circumstances that must be observed before your practitioner can commit to fabricating your prosthetic.

The remaining teeth adjacent on each side of the missing tooth/teeth must be caries (cavity) free and have no present movement. The prosthetic like all prosthetics should be checked on an annual basis for fit and function.

Proper fit is of utmost importance. To prevent accidental swallowing, you must not sleep with the prosthetic Following your dental practitioners’ advice is paramount.

When created properly patient’s absolutely love this type of partial. They can be made to feel similar to a bridge to your tongue. Be prepared to possibly have a clasp showing in favor of safety but clasps in most cases can be hidden.

If you have any questions regarding this or any other implant or dental related subject please do not hesitate to call or make an appointment for a free consultation.

Orange Shirt Day: Students hear from peers Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM One out of every 25 lockers at Hugh Boyd Secondary was plastered with an orange sticky note on Monday to represent the children who died in Canadian residential schools.

Each sticky, placed on the lockers on Orange Shirt Day, Sept. 30, had a “striking” message: the odds of Indigenous children dying in residential schools was one in 25, said Michael Taylor, social justice teacher at Hugh Boyd secondary.

In contrast, the odds of Canadians dying in the Second World War was one in 26.

Orange Shirt Day is an annual, national event that began in 2013 to educate students and communities about the effects and history of Canadian residential schools where many Indigenous children faced mental, physical and sexual abuse.

The sticky notes are just one of many activities planned by students in Taylor’s two social justice classes at Hugh Boyd.

Other activities in the students’ school-wide awareness

campaign included a residential school “museum,” located underneath one of Hugh Boyd’s stairwells, which featured a collage of photos along with quotes and statistics that relate to residential schools.

At 10 a.m. on Monday, teachers acknowledged Orange Shirt Day and popped an orange balloon filled with dozens of notes with residential school statistics. Each class then read the notes one-by-one and discussed them, said Taylor. This school-wide lesson plan was created by the social justice students.

The 11th annual Richmond Community Connect event takes place in just over two weeks, with a goal to help even more homeless people in the city.

During Homelessness Action Week in October, the community of Richmond will once again work together to support those without a stable roof over their head, connecting them to all kinds of help during a one-day blitz on Thursday, Oct. 17.

There were also baked goods, bracelets and orange shoelaces for sale. All proceeds went towards the First Nations Nutrition Program of the Canadian Feed the Children foundation.

Each of the events was formulated by Taylor’s students, who spent the past week, both during and outside of class, execut-

Last year, more than 80 guests were welcomed to St. Alban’s Anglican Church, where community volunteers will provide services such as haircuts, photos, foot care, dental hygiene, flu shots and bike repair.

Local service agencies on site will also provide information and referrals on such needs as income assistance, addiction services, mental health services and employment services.

As well, guests will enjoy a pancake breakfast, a nutritious hot lunch and will also be able to take away clothing, footwear, hygiene kits and a nutritional snack.

Since the event has become an annual drive for financial donations, organizers are able to assist people throughout the year.

Christmas fund needs volunteers The holiday season may be months away, but the Richmond Christmas Fund has already begun recruiting volunteers.

The long-running program, operated

by Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives (RCRG), helps low-income families, providing them with grocery vouchers, toys, books, and gift cards so they can enjoy a Christmas celebration.

Each year, the fund is supported by a team of 140 volunteers who together, contribute over 2,000 hours.

“The Christmas Fund is built on a spirit of community kindness and generosity,” said Ed Gavsie, president and CEO of

“We started our social justice class this year by completing a unit of lessons on contemporary and historical Indigenous issues in Canada,” said Taylor, “knowing it would dovetail into our planned awareness campaign for Orange Shirt Day on Sept. 30.”

One of the school’s art students designed a series of temporary tattoos, said Taylor, that depict Indigenous designs — the student consulted an Indigenous student to ensure the artwork was appropriate — as well as the Orange Shirt Day slogan: “Every child matters.”

RCRG. “That all starts with our volunteers.

Their commitment to helping our neighbours in need is both admirable and inspiring.”

Volunteer opportunities are available across all areas of the Christmas fund.

Roles that need to be filled include toy room assistants, greeters, toy sorters, gift wrappers, and more.

“The Christmas Fund offers a lot of variety for volunteers,” added Gavsie.

“There are roles for high school students, retirees, and everyone in between. There are opportunities to interact directly with clients, or work behind

the scenes. You’ll make a difference no matter how you contribute.”

Last year, the Christmas fund served more people than ever before, brightening the holidays for 2,400 low-income residents.

The fund is expecting similar numbers this holiday season, making the call for volunteers all the more urgent.

Reading clashes with traditions reading has been considered rebellious or dangerous in certain points of history, why some books are banned and how reading makes some people thirsty for knowledge.

The Gateway Theatre in Richmond is starting its new season with the Western Canadian premiere of Marjorie Chan’s historical drama China Doll from Oct. 17 to 26.

The award-nominated play tells the story of a young woman from Shanghai, Su-Ling, who is tied down by traditions until she learns to read.

She struggles to balance her family’s traditional values and the changing world of independence.

To welcome a wider audience, China Doll will be performed in English with subtitles in traditional and simplified Chinese characters at all performances.

“Su-Ling’s decision to forge her own path is beautiful, yet powerful, said Barbara Tomasic, Gateway Theatre’s interim producer.

“Her struggle to fit into society’s norms and

expectations draws a striking parallel to that of modern times, and I think this really resonate with the audience.”

There will be special events during the run of China Doll at the Gateway Theatre:

Thursday, Oct. 17, pre-show: Pizza Preview — Enjoy a pizza slice before the show.

Sunday, Oct. 20, 1 p.m. Gateway Forum — Dangerous Books: When reading is seen as a subversive act.

Since then, Paco Lee and Malcolm Lee have reached out to other former classmates to form the band Dot Mp3, which hosted a listening party last week at the Ukrainian Community Centre to celebrate the release of its first EP, Good for You. Paco Lee is the the band’s producer, Malcolm Lee and Joseph Gallant are vocalists, Sherman Chong, the visual artist, and Deion Adaza, music video director.

Each of the band members connected over their shared musical influences that shaped the band’s sound, said Lee, which Lee described as a mixture of hip hop, R&B and indie rock.

The band also credits their music production teacher at Steveston-London, Michael Mikulin, for helping them get started and introducing them to music production.

Break the Room was launched by American actor Paul Feig’s production company Powderkeg and headed by Sameer Gardezi, an American producer who has writing credits on Modern Family.

Gardezi and Feig hope to spur diversity on the big screen by bringing people of colour or from the LGBTQ2+ into writers’ rooms. Initially hosted in October 2018, there have been six writers’ rooms in the U.S. so far. And Vancouver is the first city

in Canada to host the program outside of U.S. “When a film or a TV show is made in Vancouver, designers or writers are (usually) from Los Angeles, while people from Vancouver work as technicians. There aren’t a lot of opportunities for local producers to have a say; it’s important to exercise our voices as creators,” said Lam. As a part of Break the Room, Lam worked with other writers of diverse backgrounds.

After working five straight days, they brought to life a rough draft about a zombie apocalypse. However, their zombies are unique.

“The zombies in our story aren’t just gray-skinned and bloodied creatures who are always missing a limb or an eyeball,” Lam said. “We use zombies as a way to symbolize conformity,” which marks a break from tradition.

Getting scripts approved and presenting them to a film agent is a long journey, but Lam stays optimistic. He’s also excited about his next project — a narrative feature currently titled Hongcouver.

“I hope to use storytelling to have a positive impact on the real world.”

“We had seven goalies tryout for the A1 team. When push comes to shove, during the tryouts, they were far and beyond the two most advanced out there,” said Jets A1 head coach Mike Idema. “It has nothing to do with male versus female or anything like that. They were highly evaluated by the tryout evaluators and myself.

McKay was the first to move over to boys hockey when she made Richmond Minor’s Atom A1 team. LimMetz re-united with her when they both made the Blues’ Pee Wee A1 squad for the 2017-18 campaign.

Last season they played for the Jets’ Bantam A3 and A2 teams respectively — paving the way for their A1 spots this year.

Through seven pre-season games, the Jets have a 6-1-0 record with the girls combining for a 1.33 goals against average and a .923 save percentage. They beat out five other boys for the roster spots.

They both stepped into the crease for the first time when they were six with the Richmond Ravens Female program and along the way have become best friends. Both are Grade 9 honour roll students at Hugh Boyd Secondary School.

The city association’s top rep team for 13-and-14-year-olds includes Sophie Lim-Metz and Lauren McKay as its two starting goaltenders. No one can recall the last time a boys hockey team at this age and tier featured two girls in net and they hardly look out of place.

Lim-Metz and McKay have been fixtures in the Richmond-based Elite Goalies Canada program for years — working mostly with Pasco Valana who also happens to be goalie coach for the national women’s team, along with former pros Mike Valley and Alex Auld.

Lauren McKay and Sophie Lim-Metz are the starting goaltenders this season for the Richmond Jets Bantam A1 boys hockey team after beating out five other hopefuls at tryouts. Photo by Mark Booth Lim-Metz’s father Brendan Metz also happens to be an instructor with Elite Goalies Canada. He says girls seem to benefit even more from the additional training at the younger ages, especially the emphasis on skating, not just stopping pucks.

“Just the impulse control at this age,” said Metz. “In general, girls are able to maybe focus and channel their energy a little bit more.

“Why we are seeing so many phenomenal female goalies is they have worked on skating for the position. It’s tough for younger kids to fall in love with skating because it isn’t the most exciting thing. It’s very challenging with all that gear. Kids love to make saves but skating is fundamentally one of the most important parts at younger ages.”

The girls found out they had made

the team while during lunch break at school couple of weeks ago.

Hockey League as a member of the U15 Surrey Junior Eagles.

“When we saw the third goalie had been released we kind of put two and two together. I thought we were pretty prepared because in the summer we were working really hard on and off the ice. I think that really helped us,” said McKay.

McKay played for the Vancouver Prospects AAA Female Team, earning a silver medal in Lake Placid, NY and gold at the Canada Cup West tournaments. She also received an invite to play for the Shattuck St. Mary’s Future team in Boston — the renowned hockey boarding school in Minnesota where Richmond standouts Courtney Vorster and Kate Reilly attended.

“The mood and chemistry on the team is great. We are a tight knight team and the boys are like brothers to us,” added Lim-Metz.

She has already been affiliated with the Fraser Valley Rush and regularly practices with the B.C. Midget AAA Female Hockey League team out of the Langley Events Centre.

Lim-Metz attended B.C. Hockey’s U16 identification camp last spring and was the only girl to play in the BCHL-sponsored Junior Showcase

Both will make the transition back to girls hockey next season for the Midget age level with aspirations of earning university scholarships and maybe even one day playing for Team Canada.

Given what they have accomplished so far, they are goals that are well within reach.

Statement win for PCHL leading Sockeyes The message from the Richmond Sockeyes to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack was loud and clear:

Not so fast on those thoughts of repeating as Pacific Junior Hockey League champions and getting back to the Cyclone Taylor Cup. The Sockeyes thrived in all three facets of the game to produce an impressive 5-0 victory in a showdown of the league’s two remaining undefeated teams last Thursday.

The Wolf Pack not only came to Minoru Arenas with a 7-00 record but had been dominating their opponents to the tune of 30 goals over the last three games. The Sockeyes were more than up to the challenge, getting a terrific 34-save performance from first star Mauricio Soriano and some superb defensive work in front of him, including the return of 18-year-old hometown product Hayden Hurst who was released earlier in the day by Alberni

Valley of the B.C. Hockey League.

“All our defence skates well and sees the ice well.

It was nice to see how they responded against a championship calibre team,” said Sockeyes head coach Brett Reusch. “It was nice to have Hayden back. Adding that junior ‘A’ experience and a veteran guy. He is a leader in the room and a really nice addition.”

A terrific fast-skating opening 20 minutes saw the Wolf Pack produce the better scoring chances but it was Thomas Von Schoenberg’s power play goal that gave Richmond a 1-0 lead.

It surprisingly remained that way until penalty trouble caught up with North Van in the late stages of the second as Ryleigh Anderson doubled the lead on the Sockeyes’ third consecutive power play.

The hosts then took full control by cashing in on a pair of defensive lapses on goals

Still, Soriano had to be sharp in the early minutes of the third. Araki-Young then punctuated the performance on another power play goal, capping off a nifty three-way passing play. Richmond finished the night going 3-for-6 on the power play.

“You can’t take them too lightly. Even going into the third they can score in

bunches,” added Reusch.

“You can’t get too high and you have to keep your composure. Just keep playing the same way.”

It was the biggest start of Soriano’s junior career after playing for three teams last season, including spot duty behind the now graduated Jeremy Kelleway.

The 19-year-old was more

than ready for the challenge.

“He sees we have two other goalies so it’s tough on him.

I’m happy with the way they are all playing but Soriano really rose to the occasion,” added Reusch.

“He made the big saves when it mattered the most. It easily could been a different game if he let one of those in.”

Dunfee celebrates birthday with bronze at World Championships Evan Dunfee celebrated his 29th birthday in grand style Saturday night with a bronze medal in the men’s 50-kilometre race walk at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar.

Starting the race in 20th position, the Richmond native quickly fought his way through the pack, reaching fifth place with 10-kilometres to go before charging up the last lap to reach the podium in a time of 4:05:02.

As Dunfee crossed the finish line, he was welcomed by former teammate and friend Inaki Gomez and coach Jerry Dragomir. At that moment, he knew that everything that he has worked for, those around him that supported him along the way, this World Cham-

pionship bronze medal was for them.

“This follows a long lineage of amazing race walking in Canada,” said Dunfee who was fourth in the same event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. “Following their footsteps learning from them, Guillaume Leblanc in ’92 in the 20-kilometres and then more recently, Ben Thorne my teammate winning bronze.”

“Ben, myself, Inaki Gomez, we were all training partners, we all won Team Challenges, this medal is as much theirs as it is mine. My coach Jerry Dragomir and I have been working together for nine years, it’s just so nice to get here, finally to get onto the podium, this medal belongs to so many people.”

BRUCE, James Weldon (Jim) July 16, 1944 - September 14, 2019 With his family surrounding him in love, James Weldon Bruce, passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer.

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Jim lived a life in such a way that many regarded him as their trusted friend and mentor. He was steadfast in his humour and hospitality; never wavering from an opportunity to share a smile and laugh with anyone from strangers to his beloved.

He was the eldest son of his late parents Victor and Ida, and is also predeceased by his brother Gord. Jim is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Doreen, sons Paul (Coralee), Greg (Lisa), and Dean (Ezzy). His eyes twinkled for his grandchildren Jaxon, Addy and Cora. He leaves behind his youngest brother, Ted (Doris) and many nieces and nephews from here to Saskatchewan.

Jim retired from a 23 year career with the City of Richmond in 2004. As the city’s general manager of finance and corporate services, he humbly turned in his keys while residents enjoyed all the benefits of a financially stable, thriving city infrastructure. He made many friends during his time working in the public sector.

TOMADA, Angelo

February 23, 1927 - September 19, 2019 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Angelo Tomada. He was known for his quick wit and great sense of humor. Dancing, cruising, camping and RV travel were his passions.

A well respected construction superintendent, Angelo lived his life with high ethical and moral standards. He was hardworking, generous and a real gentleman. In 1998 Angelo was predeceased by his wife Helen, the love of his life for 43 years.

Missing him terribly are his two children, Janice (Ken) and Robert as well as his companion of 20 years, Jeanne. Angelo was blessed to have 4 grandchildren and 9 great grand children. He was born in Powell River and moved to Vancouver in 1951.

He married Helen in 1955 and together they built a home and life in Richmond, where he lived for 60 years. Funeral service was held on Wednesday, October 2nd at 1:30 pm at Gardens of Gethsemani, 15694 32 Ave, Surrey. In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Kidney Foundation are appreciated.
